If your registered organization needs to email only one graduating class (e.g. just the 1L class), please email the Cornell IT Helpdesk at helpdesk@lawschool.cornell.edu to request access to that class’ list. In your email, please state the reason why you need access to that class’ list. You should not spam the entire listserv with something that pertains to only one class.

This list is for event announcements that applyto the entire student body.

Student groups should limit emails for an event to one email for an invitation and one email for a reminder.

Outside of elections, this list is not for regular meetings that apply to your organization only.

Events can also be listed in Scoops, the official law school newsletter. Registered student groups may have their events published in Scoops by emailing scoops@lawschool.cornell.edu.

Registered student groups may also add an event to the law school’s online calendar by emailing linda-majeroni@lawschool.cornell.edu. In your email, please state the name of your student group, title of the presentation, date, time, place (specific room number), student contact, email address, a brief description of the event, a short bio of the speaker, whether food will be served, and specify who is co-sponsoring the event.

Please remember that the registrar’s office and library circulation desk keep lost & found boxes. You should drop items off or check for items at the registrar’s office or the library circulation desk before cluttering other students’ inboxes.

Decorum and Liability

Please do not submit messages unless you are reasonably certain your message is of sufficient professional concern to a group of CLS students that it warrants delivery to the several hundred subscribers of the listserv.

Messages posted to these listservs must be civil and professional in tone. Communication via CLS listservs cannot provide the same freedom of expression as would be possible in a private conversation among confidants.

Do not post anything in a listserv message that you would not want the world to see or that you would not want anyone to know came from you. In addition, remember that because Cornell uses Cmail, students are able to archive their emails. Thus, years from now you could regret emails you sent while you were in law school.

Neither CLSA nor the CLS IT Department can verify the content of postings for accuracy or be held accountable for message content. Parties submitting messages to CLS listservs bear sole responsibility and liability for the content of their postings.

INSTRUCTIONS ON USING LABELS AND FILTERS

Think of a label as a folder. In order for this to work effectively for you, you may wish to (1) create a label for each listserv and (2) create a filter for each listserv, which will let you funnel incoming emails from that listserv into a label. If you need additional help doing this, please see the instructions below or visit Gmail’s help page (also provided below). If you still need help, please stop by the CLSA office.
CREATE LABELS FOR EACH LISTSERV

Labels are like folders. Once you’ve created a label, you can view all the messages with that label by searching, or by clicking the label name along the left side of any Gmail page.

Gmail’s filters allow you to manage the flow of incoming messages. Using filters, you can automatically label, archive, delete, star, or forward your mail, all based on a combination of keywords, sender, recipients, and more.

You will likely want to create three separate filters by typing in the email address of each listserv in the “From” box.

To create a filter:

Click Create a filter (next to the Search the Web button at the top of any Cmail or Gmail page).

Enter the email address of the first filter you wish to create in the “To” box. You could start by entering “lawstudent-marketplace-L@cornell.edu” in the “To” box.

Click Test Search to see which messages currently in Gmail match your filter terms. You can update your criteria and run another test search, or click Next Step.

Click Skip the Inbox and Apply the Label: [select the name of the label you created for this listserve, for example “CLS Marketplace].

If you’d like to apply this filter to messages already in Gmail, select the Also apply filter to x conversations below checkbox.

Click Create Filter.

If you wish, repeat this step two more times for the other two listservs.
